Displaying photos in Preview not Photoshop

When I select a photo in Pictures, it displays in Photoshop.
How do I set Pictures so photos will display through Preview and not Photoshop?
Thanks.
Vernon

Vernon,
I don't know of a batch way to do it (Photoshop does batch conversion, but it won't handle this problem).
For the future, however, I have found that if I bring a jpg file into Photoshop for editing, and make any edits which produce layers then when it is saved it will be stamped with Photoshop as the creater application. The solution is to flatten the image in Photoshop before saving it. Select Layer==>Flatten Image to do this. The resulting file will not be stamped as a Photoshop file, and should open with Preview (assuming you have set that as the default standard for files with jpg as the extension). Of course, you give up the option to do editing on layers when you flatten the image.
If you decide to save a file using SAVE AS it also makes it a Photoshop file. To avoid this, make a copy of the file with the Finder to keep the current version and use Photoshop to save the original after you have made the edits. This avoids using SAVE AS.
There may be a better way around this problem. If so, I hope someone posts it.

  • "Edit original" for JPEG opens Preview, not Photoshop?

    When I right-click on a JPEG in InDesign CS 5 and then select "edit original", it opens the photo in Preview. Is there a way to set the default application associated with JPEGs to Photoshop?
    Thanks

    Oh, I see. I was hoping there might be a separate function for ID because I generally like to open JPEGs quickly in Preview. I guess I'll just stick with the contextual menu and scroll to Photoshop. Not a big deal.
    Thanks!

  • Not displaying photos and does not save projects

    Hi all
    things just go from bad to worse for me!
    apple's update fixed my big problem of disapearing buttons but still made imovie unstable in MY user account (it worked for about 1hr now quits as soon as it opens)
    so i created a new user account
    it at least works BUT
    - does not save my projects. if i quit and then reopen - all my work has gone. (no error message is displayed) it saved the fisrt time i used it in this new user account, now, no more.
    - also - when i add a photo to the movie, it never displays. its just black. its a photo thats form iphoto in the meadia broswer window within imovie.
    honestly if there are any apple people reading - its very VERY frustrating having purschased something a month or so ago and not being able to use it still.
    hopefully someone out there can help!

  • Events folders display photo that is not the actual photo file

    When I open an event file, the photos displayed are not the actual photos. For instance, in the event "Graduation," I now have random photos of my daugher's dance recital displayed, but when I open them, the photos are indeed of graduation. So, I can't see what photos are in an event until I open each photo file There is no rhyme or reason to what photos randomly pop up on the surface, and it doesn't happen with all the files within an event, just some. Please tell me someone else has had a similar problem as it is making me feel a bit batty!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Took photos with iphone 4s. Pic displays in picture preview, but not in camera roll. Any advice? Pic should be on phone somewhere.

    Took photo with iphone 4s. Picture displays in picture preview on bottom left, but is not in camera roll. Pic should be in phone somewhere since it's in preview. Any advice?

    Ok try this kennylebouef,
    Open multitasking by double tapping the home button (at the bottom), a row of apps you've recently used should appear, tap and hold the photos app until it wiggles and displays an x, tap the x to close and then reopen the camera roll app. Let me know if it works. It's odd and frustrating, I know.

  • JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)

    (Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
    I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
    After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

    …If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
    That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
    Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
    Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
    I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve.  Unequivocally and without qualifications.
    Now, first things first:  Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites".  Concentrate on Photoshop.  Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
    The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types.  The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries.  They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
    Enough said about the cause of the problem.  The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
    Secondly, a disclaimer:  I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius.  I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point).  I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it.  I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
    Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle. 
    Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software.  Stick to version2 icc profiles.  Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
    Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
    In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site.  I have learned from all of them.
    My working color space is ProPhoto RGB.  I choose to work with PSD and PSB files.  As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web.  My main output consists of prints.
    I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
    Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
    Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself.  I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
    Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
    Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
    One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

    You either want to learn, or you don't.  You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
    When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere.  That attitude will get you there fast.  Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
    Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong.  You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing.  I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.

  • Photoshop CS4 - Saving file displays a Quicktime Preview Error

    Hi,
    I recently transferred my system from an iMac to a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.6.3). Everything seems to work except every time I now go to save a file in Photoshop (CS4) it displays a message: "Could not build a preview because of a problem with Quicktime"
    I've searched forums, un-installed and re-installed Photoshop and still no fix. Even setting save Preview to 'never' in Photoshop Preferences does not help. Has anyone seen this? Is there a preferences or permission that I need to fix or trash in Quicktime?

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for your reply. I also tried reinstalling Quicktime X from the install disk (using the Pacifist application), still did not fix. I did however find that setting the Save preview preferences then closing and re-starting Photoshop does sort of fix the problem. With the Macintosh preview disabled the message does not appear so yes I would say it's an OS problem.
    Would still be nice to know if there is an actual fix, as yet I haven't seen the error in any other application.
    Update: I also found 'copy to clipboard' and 'paste into PS' also did not work! So after a day of erasing the MacPro hard drive and re-installing the OS and all applications from scratch everything seems to work correctly. Seems Apple's migration from one computer to another really doesn't work that well.

  • Photo's are not displayed in iPhoto

    I can see Events and can click on them to see pictures, but when I click on the individual photos, they are not displayed, although I can see them in the "filmstrip' at the bottom of the screen. iPhoto will show the names if someone is tagged in the photo.
    Using osx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 11. Everything has worked just fine for several years, but suddenly this started happening. It appears it took place after my last download of photos from my iPhone since that is the last time I used iPhoto.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Previews not displaying in split view in Aperture

    Recently Aperture has stopped displaying previews for a number of photos (but strangely not all) when in split view. If I switch to browser view the previews are all there, and if I then return to split view they are back to being displayed. But if I move to another project and then return to the first they are gone again. I have repaired the Aperture database with no change, but not yet rebuilt it. This change in behaviour was not concurrent with an Aperture update. However there have been lots of updates affecting 10.8.2 since the most recent version of Aperture. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • Preview not displaying (iPhoto won't display either)

    Hi all,
    Having an issue with both iPhoto and Preview. (in iPhoto, the thumbnails don't display and you cannot doubleclick to open a photo)
    In preview I get this weird transparent window the same size as the Preview window would be if it were displaying correctly.. as seen in this youtube video..
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlU-gqicJcU
    Any ideas???
    Seems like some kinda graphic driver conflict

    Did you try restoring an earlier version of you iPhoto Library and see if it would open with iPhoto? If you have with no success then try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and run a new library then the problem lies with your current library.  And, since you've tried all of the repair fixes the only option left is:
    Start over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
    Click to view full size
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Vendor Ref. no. not displayed in print preview in vendor aging report

    Dear SAP team,
    Vendor reference number is not displayed in print preview/print on vendor liabliteis aging report,
    but this vendor reference number actually show in report,We are taking report by journal postings,
    vendor reference entered in NumAtCard in AP invoice get copied to Ref2 in Journal Entry,then
    why it is not showing in print preview/print.
    Whether this is an application error / missing functionality ?
    We are using SAP Business One 2005 B (7.40.252)  SP: 00  PL: 36.
    Whether upgrade to latest patch 2005B PL46 will solve this issue ?
    Jeyakanthan

    Hello Jeyakanthan,
    I would like to draw your attention to the enhancements we delivered within Aging Report in 2007 version and plan for 8.8 release.
    The primary enhancement in 2007 version is reflecting new concept of Internal Reconciliation with more convenient backward reporting.
    Within the 8.8 release ...
    - when you generate the aging report you can group the report by customer or sales employee in the customer receivables aging report, and by vendor or buyer in the vendor liabilities aging report;
    - when the aging report has been generated, you can view multicustomer/multivendor detailed information in the aging report window. There is no need to double-click each customer/vendor row to view the details.
    We would strongly to recommend you to upgrade to 2007 version or join the ramp-up of 8.8 release soon.

  • Will not display images in preview in browse

    Hello:
    I am new to fireworks and am attempting to make a simple pop up menu but am having trouble viewing the image.  First, I converted a .jpeg image to a button. I then put menu pop-up functions on this button.  When I displayed it in preview with browser, the pop-up images displayed, but there was an "x'd" out image where the original should have been. 
    I was curious about why this was, figured that there was a problem with the file that I imported, and so I decided to just use one of the library's buttons.  Again - the original button was "x'd" out but the pup-up functions displayed.
    I therefore decided to go even more basic and simply painted an image gray and attempted to preview in browser.  Again, "x'd" out image.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this??  It is driving me INSANE!!!!
    The crazy thing is that earlier this morning, everything was working just fine.  The images would display perfectly.  Now, they are gone and I am at witt's end trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
    If ANYONE could please help me, I would be in such gratitude.
    Thanks
    Ben (noob to web design)

    If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
    As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so 
    they are at least two versions old.
    Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many 
    other products on the market which do a much better job of creating 
    and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
    Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
    http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
    There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop 
    up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away 
    from them.
    Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

  • Pdf not displayed correctly in preview

    We have a new A) scanner (colortrac Ci40) and when we scan a pdf it is displayed in preview as if it is all wrinkled up.
    Only in prewiew and if imorted in vectorworks. (on both OSX 10.5 and 10.6)
    The same problem appears on a iPad.
    It is not displayed correctly.
    In all other programms I tried it is displayed properly.
    We also have a small a4/a3 scanner from konica minolta and these scans display corectly in preview.
    Is this only a preview problem and should I ignore it?

    Hi there,
    I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
    The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
    Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
    Here is a link to one problematic pdf:http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
    NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
    I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
    Thanks!
